HOW The budget, equipment, IT, learning time, learning space
WHO The individuals or teams responsible for the implementation
WHEN The date, week, month or term for completion
ACHIEVEMENT MILESTONES The changes in practice or behaviours
1. Develop a common approach to Numeracyplanningacross the whole school using the Michael Ymer planning document and current school term planner 2. Yr P- 6 focus on the importance of placevalue knowledge to the understanding of other Number concepts
- Michael Ymer planning document - PLAT information on maths instruction and differentiated learning - Use of DEECD Maths continuum website to cater for differentiated lesson planning - Use of DEECD websitelinking EYN Interview results to mathematics Development Continuum - Explore the VELS expectations for place value from Level 1-5 using DEECD websites and PLAT information
- ½ to 1 curriculum day for Numeracy Training PD for teachers inFebruary on Michael Ymer planning document for differentiated learning - Whole staff PD on place value onFebruary curriculum day and/orstaff meeting.
-Principal -Numeracy Coordinator -Teaching and Learning Numeracy Coach - Year level teams - All teaching staff
-Introduction – February curriculum day -Start of each term – Maths term planners - Throughout term – Weekly units of study to be completed on Ymer planning document Term 1 and ongoing throughout year as part of maths planning process
- Improved student outcomes in Numeracy in Years P-6 - Increased number of children in Years P-6 performing at or above expected VELS level - Improve d pedagogy in the planning and instruction of numeracy -Baseline data collected P-2 via EYN Online Interview March and September 2009 - At least 2 maths lessons per week to include place value activities

3.P- 6 focus on the development of automatic recall of addition and subtraction number facts. 4.Yr P-2 focus on the development of skip counting knowledge and modelling ‘groups of’ as a precursor to the learningof times tables
- Teacher PD on suitable learning activities for each VELS level as per maths continuum - Refer to DEECD developmental overview website on Proportional Reasoning and Muliplicative Thinking skills for VELS level 0.5 -2.5
Make : -Di Seamon’s subitising cards - Tens grids - Hundreds charts Purchase: - Additional discrete counting materials - Box set of addition andsubtraction fact strategies Have all the required equipment
-Maths co-ordinator -P-6 class teachers - Maths co-ordinator - P- 2 class teachers
Terms 1 & 2 Revision work during Terms 3 and 4 - Counting – ongoing throughout year - Complete EYN Online Interview in March and Septmeber
- Improved student ability to recall addition and subtraction facts through strategies such as counting on, counting back, fact families, tens buddies, doubles, near doubles, building to the next ten and commutative laws (see indicators of progress website for Number for further strategies) - Improved student ability to skip count and model ‘groups of’ and ‘shared between’ problems - Improved results on EYN online interviewfor P-2
